A Picking Strategy for Circular Conveyor Tracking
No full textThe automatic part feeding is one of the most crucial task in modern assembly lines. Such a task consists in the separation of parts delivered in bulk and their presentation in a certain amount and orientation at the pick-up location. The traditional Vibratory Bowl Feeder (VBF) is no longer suitable for the modern plants which require high velocity and increasing flexibility. In this work the Ars FlexiBowl has been identified as one of the most innovative flexible feeders. In order to take full advantage from this feeder, a proper path planning algorithm is proposed and implemented for Adept Robots. Its application to a robotic workcell, employed as an experimental setup, allows proving the usefulness of the proposed algorithm
Vertical packaging machine for food products
No full textA packaging machine comprising a transversal sealing unit (20) of bags, substantially consisting of a plate support (21) which comprises a series of additional supports and kinematic organs for the horizontal and vertical activation of grippers (22, 23), one internal and the other external, for the sealing and cutting of each bag, said machine comprising motors (25, 26), mounted on a fixed support (24), which cause the vertical movement of a main carriage (29) and of a gripper carriage (30) by means respectively of a screw shaft (27) and a screw shaft (28), said main carriage (29) supporting two pairs of horizontal and sliding parallel arms (33, 34), the internal first of which control the horizontal movement of the internal grippers (22) and the second control the horizontal movement of the external grippers (23), while the vertical movement of the grippers to follow the moving bag is achieved by the vertical movement of the main carriage (29)
